§ Mr. MaddenTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will urge the appropriate authorities in Belgrade to allow the British and other EC ambassadors in Belgrade to be granted access to meet Mr. Vuk Draskovic, the Leader of the Serbian Opposition, and his wife; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggMy right hon. Friend the Prime Minister has urged President Milosevic to release Mr. and Mrs. Draskovic and to ensure meanwhile that they have access to proper medical treatment and visitors. We have supported the efforts of the European Comunity presidency to secure agreement for visits by EC representatives. We and our European partners will continue to press the authorities in Belgrade on this issue.
